The Inspector General of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) launched a criminal investigation into the matter back in July 2022 that resulted in the later release of a highly redacted report. Coupled with what the whistleblower has come forward to say, we know from the investigation that Cheatle played a direct role in the "deletion" of all January 6 text messages from the phones of Secret Service agents.
A watchdog that oversees Secret Service, the Inspector General uncovered evidence to suggest that Cheatle deleted the texts immediately after the oversight panel requested all electronic communications from January 6. Secret Service denies this, claiming all text messages were preserved and handed over to investigators.
Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) believes that the number of text messages deleted by Cheatle is so high that her actions constitute criminal obstruction of Congress, especially since lawmakers previously sent DHS preservation notices to all involved agencies prior to the "device migration," as Cheatle called it.
Under questioning by @RepThomasMassie, Bennie Thompson, chair of J6 committee who pretended his mission was to investigate Jan 6, reluctantly admitted the texts were deleted and it represented a violation of Federal Records Act.

Secret Service corruption exposed
The whistleblower in question claims that all of his text messages related to January 6 were deleted by Cheatle to prevent lawmakers and investigators from uncovering the truth.
"I worked on January 6th and I had to turn in my phone a couple of months later, and never saw it again," the whistleblower said.
"And yeah, all that, all those things, got deleted. But before they took my phone and everything, none of them were deleted. I'm like, 'What are you talking about? We had an [technology cell phone software] update?'"
The whistleblower claims that every single text message and email from before January 6 had been saved on his phone. But after turning it over for the "device migration," he received another one back that was completely blank of all potentially incriminating evidence of Secret Service wrongdoing on January 6.
"Because their DOJ investigation regarding our phones, we're gonna have to take your phone and give you a different one," is what the whistleblower claims he was told by his superiors at Secret Service.
At the time when this all happened, the whistleblower says he was still a "believer" in terms of the official story. He trusted that what his superiors were telling him was true and did not give it a second thought. He now feels differently, obviously.
"Although we requested text messages from select Secret Service personnel, Secret Service did not provide these records while we conducted our fieldwork," the Office of the Inspector General said in a sensitive statement that was given to law enforcement and Congress only, but that was later leaked.
"On March 31, 2021, the Secret Service provided a screenshot of only one text message exchange in response to our February 2021 initial information request ... In response to our follow-up request for additional content for the text message exchange provided, the Secret Service indicated on May 4, 2021, that the additional information requested was unavailable because of a planned Secret Service-wide cell phone migration."
